How do I delete Netflix profiles?

Being able to have multiple profiles on your Netflix account is great, but with so much competition out there, one of your users might move on, taking up valuable real estate without actually using the service. So, if you want to get rid of them and open up a space for someone else who appreciates Castlevania, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, and The Witcher, this is how to delete Netflix profiles:

  1. Login to Netflix
  2. Go to manage profiles
  3. Select the one you want to delete
  4. Scroll down to the bottom and hit delete profile

Why do I need to delete Netflix profiles?

You can only have up to five profiles per account, so if you want to add someone new, you may have to get rid of an existing profile. It could be that somebody on your account doesn't even watch Netflix anymore, or it could be someone you no longer speak to and you refuse to allow them to keep enjoying good entertainment for free. Regardless of the tier you have, you can only have those five profiles, so choose wisely.

Can I restore deleted Netflix profiles?

No, after you delete an account or profile, you lose everything associated with it, meaning you need to go through the painstaking process of reorganizing your watch, and the algorithm has no idea what you enjoy anymore. So, it'll take some time before you start getting good suggestions again, too.
